Newbury fifth Lifeboat has much the best form of the three with experience in this and he’s every chance of staying the extra furlong on breeding. Beringer is by Sea The Stars and a half-brother to a 7f winner. Christopher Wood is a half-brother to three winners but may not come into his own until next season unlike Al Jellaby, who is quite speedily-bred. Jockey bookings would suggest MACAQUE is preferred to stablemate Berkshire Royal so we’ll give a tentative vote to Andrew Balding’s son of Rock Of Gibraltar as his stable has won this twice in the last nine years.
